I've got Google alerting me to a number of search words of relevance to me; my domain names, my name, etcetera. Unfortunately, as has happened before, a site using pieces of my content showed up in Google's results for one of my phrases.

After a number of Google searches, I've been unable to find a listing of what browsers support what versions of JavaScript. The few sites I did find were AnyBrowser.com and Mozilla.org. Unfortunately, the information they provide is pretty focused. In this article I'll be going over this information, and trying to dig up more.
